Full look of Pennywise for the "It" remake

Yes, I love scary clowns and this hot pic of Pennywise is giving me everything!

Bill Skarsgård plays the demonic being who feeds off of the fear of children. This look give him a horrifying appearance that will completely haunt you in your dreams.
Emmy-winning costume designer Janie Bryant had this to say about the costume design:

“The costume definitely incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, if you will. He is definitely a clown from a different time.”

EW gets into the style of Pennywise:

There’s a classic Harlequin quality to the elegant red lines, drawing up his cheeks like fangs to bisect his eyes. In this new image, we can more clearly see the fissures in the caked-on makeup atop his domed brow, resembling the sutures in the plates of a skull.

We even get a hint of his yellow, buck-toothed smile – or might those be something sharper?

His neck is frilled by a thick, puffy collar, like a ruff from the late 16th century, and here’s where we zoom in and venture into geek-out territory for costume enthusiasts. Every part of the costume is meant to suggest something both ancient and disturbed.

I'm starting to get excited about this

Exclusive Look at Pennywise the Clown for the "It" Reboot

If you don't know, there is a new updated version to Stephen King's It.

It's coming to theaters next year and Bill Skarsgård taking on the role of Pennywise the clown! Tim Curry gave us life in his version back in 1990. I think Bill will do a great job in this role.

It will be a two movie feature and I'm so here for it!

Get Ready for... IT the Feature Film

You remember IT. The Stephen King masterpiece and later a mini-series in the 90s.

Well, it's about to be a feature film. The screenwriter, David Kajganich talked about the progress.

When I heard Warner Bros. was going to give the novel a go theatrically, I went after the job hard. I knew the studio was committed to adapting IT as a single film, so I went back and reread the novel to see if I thought this was even possible, and to try to find a structure that would accommodate such a large number of characters in two different time periods, around 120 pages, which was another of the studio�s stipulations.

and..

In all of my talks with the studio, it has only ever been discussed as a single feature film. The book's length is clearly more suited to a mini-series�and I understand very well why they went that route the last time around�but I think the book�s content is really more appropriate for cinema. I told the studio from the beginning that I felt I needed to be able to write for an R rating, since I wanted to be as candid as the novel about the terrible things the characters go through as kids. They agreed and off I went.

I hope he can pull it off, IT is no joke. I wish him luck.

Send in the Clowns!

There are a lot folks who are scared of clowns.

Me? I love that clowns are scary things.

In fact, I have my top scary clown features to share with you.

Clownhouse-so underrated, but so good


It-Tim Curry, that's all I need to say


Poltergeist- the clown scene...Classic


Killer Klowns from Outer Space- other super classic

Why! By the Grace of Hera...WB is trying to Remix, IT

While I think it can be tinkered, I'm not sure about the IT reboot.

I happen to like the TV version, Tim Curry was wonderful as the killer clown.

According to THR, they have already begun the process:

Dave Kajganich has been hired pen the script, which follows a group of kids called the Losers Club that encounter a creature called It, which preys on children and whose favorite form is that of a sadistic clown called Pennywise.

When the creature resurfaces, the kids are called upon to regroup again, this time as adults, even though they have no memory of the first battle. The novel is set in 1958 and 1985, though the feature version will be set in the present day.

"It" was the best-selling book of 1986 and in 1990 was turned into an ABC miniseries that starred John Ritter, Harry Anderson, Tim Reid, Annette O'Toole and Richard Thomas. Tim Curry played Pennywise.

The screen rights have bounced around town since then, and at one time landing at the WB and again at Sci Fi.

It could be good but so far, all the reboots have been a mess.

Please do IT right!
